A HISTORY OF THE 

UNITED STATES ARMY GENERAL 

HOSPITAL NO. 16 

FROM ITS ORGANIZATION TO THE SIGNING OF 
THE ARMISTICE, NOVEMBER 11, 1918 

The United States Army General Hospital No. 16 
occupies the buildings erected as a memorial by Mrs. 
William Wirt Winchester to her husband and pre- 
sented by her as a tuberculosis annex to the New Haven 
Hospital. When the Government took possession of 
the hospital it had just been completed. 

The hospital is T-shaped, well built, modern in con- 
struction, and suitable in every respect to the purposes 
for which it was intended, — ^in fact, a model hospital, 
able to accommodate, according to the original plans, 
126 patients. The buildings are of red brick and the 
group comprises the hospital, a nurses' home, a house 
intended for the Superintendent and a heating plant 
also containing the laundry. The hospital is situated 
on a hill, well wooded, some two hundred feet above sea- 
level, in latitude N. 41° 18' and longitude W. 72° 56'. 
It overlooks the City of New Haven, the centre of which 
is slightly over two miles distant, and gives a good view 
of Long Island Sound in the distance. Approximately 
forty acres of ground, mostly clay and loam, surround 
the hospital, some of which has been cultivated and also 
artistically laid out by the well-known landscape archi- 



10 HISTORY OF UNITED STATES ARMY 

tect, Mrs. Max Farrand, at a cost of many thousands 
of dollars. The remainder of the grounds not occupied 
by buildings are left in their natural wooded state, and 
are directly back, or to the west, of the hospital. Well- 
constructed roads and paths lead up the hill to the build- 
ings and approach the pillared main entrance. The 
trolley line passes along Campbell Avenue to the east 
of the hill, making the city easily accessible. To the 
north the Milford Turnpike runs, which is the main 
automobile road between New Haven and New York. 

The usual New England climate prevails here; fre- 
quent and somewhat sudden changes of temperature 
occur, due, as is well known, to the manner of storm 
current movements in this region. In winter the tem- 
perature rarely falls below zero ; the lowest temperature 
recorded is 14° below zero, during the winter of 1872. 
Occasionally there are heavy snowfalls, twelve to eight- 
een inches in forty-eight hours as was the case last 
winter, but it is seldom that the snow covers the ground 
for more than a few weeks at a time. The prevailing 
direction of the wind is from the northwest; it seldom 
attains a high velocity — usually an average of ten 
miles — but on the other hand, seldom drops to a dead 
calm. The humidity, which is often spoken of as rather 
bad, is in reality somewhat below that of the usual 
coastal stations, being on an average only 72 per cent. 
Sunshine occurs practically two out of every three days, 
or 61 per cent, of the time. 

In the spring the temperature rises rapidly and there 
is some increase in the amount of moisture in the air, 
with a result that at this time fogs are most likely to 
occur. Light rains are frequent, although the percent- 
age of sunshine is about the same as in the winter season. 
On account of both land and sea breezes the summers 
are not extremely hot; the temperature does not often 



GENERAL HOSPITAL NO. 16 11 

rise above 90°, with an average of 69°. During the 
summer the prevaihng direction of the wind is from the 
south, with an average velocity of eight miles an hour. 
The storms are of short duration, but occasionally severe 
thunderstorms occur and the humidity during this sea- 
son averages 78 per cent. In the fall the nights are 
cool, while the days are warm and delightful, the mean 
temperature for the fall months being only 53° and with 
a daily range of only 16°. The winds are generally 
light and variable. 

The Government leased the buildings and grounds 
from the New Haven Hospital on February 23, 1918, 
to become effective March 1, for the period of the war 
and six months thereafter, for the purpose of caring for 
soldiers affected with tuberculosis. Lieutenant-Colonel 
(then Major) Alexius M. Forster was appointed Com- 
manding Officer. Under his direction a receiving ward, 
four general wards, an officers' ward, two wards for 
cases of intercurrent venereal infection and two wards 
for ambulatory patients were opened, accommodating 
in all about two hundred patients. On March 19 the 
first ward was opened and by August 10, under the 
Commanding Officer, Lieutenant- Colonel Nelson E. 
Nichols, the remaining wards were occupied, and, in 
addition, ten new temporary wards had been con- 
structed for ambulatory cases, increasing the capacity 
of the hospital to five hundred beds. The attached plan 
will show clearly the distribution of the wards and the 
new buildings. 

Besides the buildings erected as wards, four buildings 
were erected as barracks for the enlisted personnel, with 
a capacity for 74 men each, and a building to accommo- 
date additional nurses, as the original nurses' home with 
rooms for only 30 nurses was insufficient. 

At the time of its organization the hospital staff con- 



12 HISTORY OF UNITED STATES ARMY 

sisted only of the Commanding Officer, five officers and 
a chief nurse. The growth has been so rapid that nine 
months later the staff has been increased to 18 officers 
besides surgeons for each ward. The personnel has 
hkewise grown rapidly and it may be of interest to com- 
pare in numbers the organization as it was at its incep- 
tion and at the time of the signing of the armistice.

In regard to the sanitary conditions at the hospital, 
the main question is, as always, one of water supply and 
sewerage. The water is obtained from Maltby Lake, 
belonging to the New Haven Water Company, situated 
some three miles from New Haven. The water, before 
it is brought to the reservoir, however, taps three other 
watersheds. There is no filtration, but on account of 
the water being largely from the surface, chlorination 
has been used for the past few years. The watershed 
is well protected and analytical examination of the 
water itself is frequent. It is interesting, therefore, 
to know that only one water-borne epidemic of typhoid 
has developed since the origin of the present water com- 
pany's organization in 1845. 

The direct supply to the hospital is by pipe to an 
underground reservoir of 200,000 gallons and also by 
pressure to an elevated tank of 75,000 gallons capacity. 
The upper 25,000 gallons in this tank is used for do- 
mestic purposes, while the remainder is for fire emer- 
gency, until the fire pump can be started which draws 
from the main reservoir and pumps a thousand gallons 
a minute. 

The sewer system consists of all underground piping.

discharging into the city main on Campbell Avenue 
from all buildings on the reservation. The arrangement 
of the toilets and water-closets in the hospital is good. 
In some of the wards in the main building this is 
one large washroom containing four washbowls, two 
toilets, and one urinal, the bathtub being in a separate 
room. Other wards have two washrooms, each equipped 
with two washbowls, two toilets, and two bathtubs. On 
these latter wards there are two private rooms with 
private baths. In the centre of each of the temporary 
wards, which have been put up by the Government, is 
a large room with two shower-baths, six washbowls, and 
three toilets. This room also has a clothes locker for 
each man and serves as a dressing room for the patients, 
as the rest of the ward is open. Here the plumbing is 
of the ordinary house type, the fixtures being less expen- 
sive than in the main building. 

The question of garbage disposal, although quite a 
formidable one when the hospital was started, has been 
settled very satisfactorily by an arrangement with a 
near-by farmer who hauls away daily all the hospital 
garbage at a flat rate of $20 a month. 

The heat is from a central plant consisting of four 
large boilers of two hundred horse power each, which 
are situated in the basement of the main building. The 
main hospital buildings are heated by a forced circulat- 
ing system, while in the more recent temporary struc- 
tures, steam, with a vacuum return, is used. Up to the 
present date this system has proved entirely satisfactory. 

Electricity is used exclusively for the lighting of all 
the hospital buildings and grounds. The power is 
generated on the place, but there is also an attachment 
to the city lighting plant for use in emergency. 

The officers' quarters consist of some sixty rooms, the 
majority of which are in the Administration Building, 



GENERAL HOSPITAL NO. 16 15 

the others being in the house occupied by the Command- 
ing Officer. Ordinarily each officer is assigned a room 
of his own. 

The mess system as used here is made up of four 
units: first, a kitchen for detachment men, which is 
directly behind the main building; second, a kitchen for 
ambulatory patients, situated near the temporary 
wards; third, a kitchen for officers, nurses, and bed 
patients, located on the third floor of the main building; 
and fourth, a diet kitchen on the ground floor. These 
combined kitchens are at present preparing food for 
about eleven hundred people. In addition, there is a 
central butcher shop and refrigerating plant to which 
perishable products are brought and redistributed to 
the various kitchens as needed. A central storeroom 
for groceries is run on the same plan. The equipment 
is modern throughout, consisting of large ranges, steam 
roasters, stock pots, mechanical potato peelers, etc. All 
the floors are of either concrete or tile. 

The cafeteria system is used to serve the men in both 
the detachment and the patients' mess hall. The food 
prepared in the main building for bed patients, officers, 
and nurses is sent down from the kitchen, which is 
located on the third floor, by means of dumb-waiters and 
then distributed to the wards and the officers' and nurses' 
dining rooms. 

The hospital laundry is directly over the engine room 
and is equipped with the most modern American laundry 
machinery. Ten enlisted men and eight civilian women 
are employed here. All towels, sheets, pillow cases, 
table linen, etc., for the entire institution, as well as all 
the personal washing of the patients, is taken care of in 
this laundry. Between fifty and sixty thousand pieces 
are done each month. 

In giving a description of the various storehouses on 



16 HISTORY OF UNITED STATES ARMY 

the hospital grounds, it is necessary to mention five 
rooms located in the basement of the main building, 
used as storerooms by the Medical Supply Officer. The 
Quartermaster also has two warehouses for his supplies, 
together with seven small buildings used as paint shops, 
hay shed, miscellaneous equipment, and garage, the 
latter having a capacity for eight cars. 

The organization of the hospital includes, at the 
present time, the hospital proper, providing for 650 
patients, the nurses' home for 72 nurses, and the mess 
provided to feed 1,200 men. There are also the admin- 
istration quarters; a surgical department; a complete 
laboratory; a radiographic department; a dispensary; 
throat, ear, eye and nose clinic, and a dental office. 
Besides this there is the Quartermaster's Department. 

The hospital, being intended for tuberculous cases, 
includes, however, other respiratory diseases. Similar 
to other institutions of this nature, the medical chief is 
responsible for the direction and control of all ward 
surgeons, whom he meets at conference twice a week 
and with whom he consults and advises regarding any 
special case or those patients dangerously ill. He also 
makes daily rounds of each ward and conducts the in- 
struction of the medical officers regarding therapeutic 
routine as carried out in the United States Army tuber- 
culosis sanatoria. Besides this, it is necessary for the 
Medical Chief to pass on aU cases which are to be either 
discharged for disability or returned to duty. 

Up to the signing of the armistice on November 11, 
1,134) persons had been patients in this hospital. This 
includes not only tuberculous cases but also all those 
admitted to the medical service, among whom were 
officers, corps men, and civilians. Of a total of 1,134 
patients, 651 were tuberculous; 21 of these died; 24 were 
discharged for disability; seven were transferred to

GENERAL HOSPITAL NO. 16 17 

other hospitals, while 116, or over 10 per cent., were 
returned to duty, leaving 483 under treatment. During 
the past year, besides tuberculosis, the following dis- 
eases have come under the supervision of the medical 
service : pneumonia, lobar and lobular, bronchitis, gassed 
cases, influenza, tonsillitis, Vincent's angina, pharyn- 
gitis, epididymitis, gastroenteritis, neuritis, mitral in- 
sufficiency, measles, and mumps. 

The pandemic of influenza, so prevalent throughout 
the country, began here on September 25 and continued 
up to the early part of November, reaching its highest 
point on October 9, when 27 new cases were reported on 
the reservation. In all, 228 cases developed, or nearly 
27 per cent, of the population. Of this number 72 were 
complicated by broncho-pneumonia, with 13 deaths. 
One of the most interesting features of the epidemic 
was the fact that only slightly over 16 per cent, of our 
tuberculous patients had the disease, while among the 
corps men, all presumably healthy, the percentage of 
cases was more than twice as large. 

The surgical service at this hospital is necessarily very 
limited, as no surgical cases are admitted, the only sur- 
gery being that developing from time to time. Never- 
theless, the equipment and facilities in this department 
are complete in every detail. The operating amphi- 
theatre is large, well lighted and ventilated. There is 
also an accessory sterilizing room, preparation and 
dressing rooms, and a surgeon's dressing room and 
office. The major operative work recorded to date in- 
cludes: thoracotomies, rib resections, appendectomies, 
herniotomies, fractures, hemorrhoidal operations, ischio- 
rectal abscesses and rectal fistul^e, internal and external 
urethrotomies, turbinectomies, mucous resections, and 
mastoid operations. The minor operations done during 
the year comprise gunshot and stab wounds, circum- 



18 HISTORY OF UNITED STATES ARMY 

cisions, epididymectomy, varicocele operations, artifi- 
cial pneumothorax, aspirations, and the injection of 
arsphenamin and mercury. The surgical dressings have 
averaged from twelve to fifteen daily. All genito- 
urinary cases are also under the care of the surgical 
chief. Since July 26, 33 major and 49 minor operations 
have been performed, while 52 injections of arseno- 
benzol were given. No deaths have occurred on this 
service since its organization. 

The separate departments have been run efficiently. 
The dispensary was opened on March 22, 1918. It is 
situated in the centre of the basement in the main build- 
ing of the hospital. Since its opening over seven thou- 
sand prescriptions have been filled, or an average of 
about thirty-five a day. Besides this, all vaccinations 
for typhoid and other diseases, for officers, nurses, and 
corps men, have been administered by the Detachment 
Commander, on Tuesdays and Fridays, from this office. 

An important part of any hospital is the laboratory. 
Here there is a well-established department, organized 
in April. The actual laboratory work of the hospital 
in the beginning was done at the Brady Laboratory, 
with the exception of all routine ward examinations, 
such as urine and sputum. After July 23, however, the 
laboratory handled all the clinical material. This de- 
partment deserves much credit for the work done during 
the influenza epidemic, all its resources, both in men and 
material, being taxed to the utmost. 

This being a military institution, practically all 
patients dying here are autopsied. Up to July 22, 
there had been only three deaths, but from that date to 
November 11, this number has been increased to 26, the 
rapid increase being largely due to the influenza epi- 
demic. All gross and histological specimens are ex- 
amined at the Brady Laboratory. The autopsy room 



GENERAL HOSPITAL NO. 16 19 

is situated in the basement of the west wing of the hos- 
pital. It is sufficiently large, well lighted and venti- 
lated. The table is porcelain over iron. There is a brine 
refrigerator in it and opening off the room is a gas incin- 
erator where any undesirable material may be burned. 

The X-Ray Department was organized in April. On 
account of the delay in receiving part of the equipment, 
however, the first radiograph was not taken until June 
21. The department consists of a Roentgenologist and 
staff. The equipment at the present time is very com- 
plete. The work carried on in this department has been 
the usual routine radiographic examination of patients, 
conferences with the clinical teaching staff, lectures and 
demonstrations to the student officers, and special re- 
search work. Mention should here be made of the work 
and cooperation with the clinical staff by this depart- 
ment during the recent influenza epidemic. From June 
21 to November 11, 666 patients have been radio- 
graphed and 2,672 plates and films used. 

The Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Department was 
organized in April with a chief and one assistant. Here, 
as in other departments, the equipment is most satis- 
factory and complete. All the enlisted men from the 
Yale Army Laboratory are given attention in addition 
to those of this post. On an average 60 patients are 
treated daily, while the number of refractions and oper- 
ations per week averages 10 and 12 respectively. In 
addition to the routine work, special research work in 
tuberculous laryngitis has been carried on. 

The Dental Department, first opened July 10, with 
a chief and an assistant, is located in two rooms in the 
east wing of the main building, one room being used as 
a laboratory and workshop, the other as an office for the 
treatment of patients. Up to date there have been 296 
cases treated, 200 of which have been completed, while 



20 HISTORY OF UNITED STATES ARMY 

96 are still under treatment. An average of 51 cases 
has been completed each month. 

As this hospital was designated by the War Depart- 
ment as the parent hospital to aU Army tuberculosis 
institutions throughout the country, a school was estab- 
lished and opened in the middle of May for the instruc- 
tion of medical officers, who were either to be sent as 
examiners on the various tuberculosis boards, or were 
eventually to become part of the personnel at any of 
the other Army hospitals for the treatment of lung dis- 
eases. This being the case, courses were opened in: the 
normal chest, the pathological chest, routine laboratory 
work, X-Ray work, nose and throat, pathological lec- 
tures and demonstrations, treatment, administration 
and customs of the service, the duties of the Supply 
Officer, the duties of a Mess Officer, the duties of an 
Adjutant, duties of a Registrar, duties of the Detach- 
ment Commander, reconstruction, ward work, officers' 
drill and setting-up exercises. The course was designed 
to take six weeks for its completion, but of necessity, 
many men were ordered away before being able to com- 
plete all their work. A total of 209 officers have had 
either all or a great part of this training, which neces- 
sarily had to be abandoned shortly after the signing of 
the armistice, as no new men were entering the service. 
It is also of interest to note that from March 7 to No- 
vember 1, 266 drafted men, together with 29 commis- 
sioned officers, came to this hospital for their general 
physical examination. 

The Post Exchange has been most successful. Open- 
ing in March, it was located in the basement of the main 
building. During the latter part of August, it was 
moved to a wooden building constructed particularly 
for its use. It was opened on credit with the local deal-

ers of New Haven, and today shows all debts paid and 
assets amounting to $3,431.19. 

Although apart from the description and functions 
of the hospital itself, there are other departments and 
activities that have a valuable share in the life of this 
post. In August, a large and homelike Red Cross 
building was erected, at a cost of $25,000, and was 
opened for the use of the patients and corps men. 
Shortly after this, another Red Cross building was con- 
structed, at a cost of $10,000, for the exclusive use of 
the nurses. In May a Field Director arrived and as- 
sumed the general supervision of all Red Cross activi- 
ties. In July an assistant was appointed, and since that 
time has acted as song leader for the post, as well as 
having much to do with the securing of entertainment 
for the patients. Upon the opening of the Red Cross 
House, a hostess was appointed, her duties being mainly 
to give information regarding various subjects, to be- 
come acquainted with the men individually in order to 
be of aid or comfort, and to give a home atmosphere to 
the Red Cross building. In August a Social Service 
Visitor was appointed, her work being mostly with bed 
patients, and in September an office assistant to the 
Field Director was appointed. 

A brief summary of the work done by the Red Cross 
here includes advice given to the patients and corps men 
on their many home and business problems; assisting 
them in seeing that the proper allotments reach the 
allottees; in acting as a connecting link between the 
family and the patient, who often neglects to write 
home; the supplying to the corps men and patients of 
various articles; and lastly, in trying to keep the men 
happy and contented by entertainment such as vaude- 
ville, dances, boxing and other forms of amusement 
which are usually carried on in the Red Cross House, 



22 HISTORY OF UNITED STATES ARMY 

the corps men, not the patients, participating in the 
latter activities. 

The Chaplain, the Y. M. C. A., and Knights of 
Columbus have also been active along these same lines, 
as well as doing much for the men in a religious way. 
The Red Cross House is used alike by all, services being 
held there every Sunday. The Y. M. C. A. has just 
started to erect a building 40 x 80 feet, to be used for 
recreation and as a gymnasium by the officers and corps 
men of this post. 

The civilian population of New Haven have pro- 
vided abundant entertainment for the officers. Nearly 
every Saturday afternoon of the summer months there 
were sailing trips, automobile rides, baseball games, and 
outdoor picnics, while on several occasions tickets were 
supplied by the various theatres. 

The reconstruction service in this hospital is one of 
the most useful and far-reaching of the varied activities. 
It can really date its beginning from the arrival of the 
first patients, as the first step was taken with garden 
work in June, 1918. 

In July the Reconstruction Chief arrived and began 
his duties. From this time forward the work grew 
rapidly. The staff was enlarged by additional induc- 
tions and by the assignment to this post of several Re- 
construction Aides. At the same time the efficiency of 
the staff was increased by appropriate organization, by 
teacher training, and especially by added experience. 
Various schools have been opened in which general and 
special instruction is given and what is of especial in- 
terest is that occupational therapy upon the wards has 
been successfully undertaken by a well-selected staff of 
trained women enlisted as Reconstruction Aides. 

Another important point in the list of activities car- 
ried on is the organization of the Reconstruction De- 



GENERAL HOSPITAL NO. 16 23 

tachment. This is made up of patients who, after care- 
ful observation and examination, will be fit, in the near 
future, to return to duty. Their minds are gradually 
led back to regular army routine, and are at the same 
time watched carefully to see how they stand the work. 
If all goes well, they are eventually discharged from 
the hospitals as patients and returned to their organ- 
ization. 

At present the Reconstruction Chief has under him 
two commissioned officers, 25 enlisted men, most of 
whom are instructors, and 12 Reconstruction Aides. 
As to the practical apphcation of the work, the last 
report shows that approximately two-thirds of the en- 
tire corps of patients are engaged in the various lines 
of physical reconstruction under medical prescription.
